Impartial Network Orchestration: Multiple Service Sector Networks and the Need for Intentional Neutrality

EasyChair Preprint 1162

Abstract

This study analyzes the potential for structural subgroups to form in complex, goal-directed networks, based on organizational domain or sector. Additionally, it proposes the concept of sector impartiality as a way to ameliorate the structural isolation of sub-network domain groups. Through two illustrative cases, we demonstrate both the presence of domain-based subgroups, and the structural effects of impartial orchestration on the whole network over time. The study contributes to both theory and practice by connecting research on network structure with the practical challenges of managing complex, multi-sector networks.

Keyphrases: network analysis, network governance, network structure
